Small Cheese.

That Americans consume comparatively
little cheese is fact, also that cheese Is
one of the most wholesome and cheapest
kinds Of food, indeed often preferable to
meat.
Making small cheese weighing four,
five or ten pounds each. which could be
readily sold at from so to 100 per cent
above the market price for large sizes,
would doubtless be of great benefit to this
industry and materially increase the local
demand. A five-pound cheese properly
made OF white milk would readily sell at
from IS cents to 81. The buyer OF the en-
tire product of a certain cheese factory in
Madison county, New York, offered the
maker three -fourths of a cent per pound
above the market price If he would reducs
his cheese to Uniform size OF thirty
pounds each, AS this offer covered the
cost OF making, being a nice profit in it.
self, ii was accepted.
One of the most prominent grocers in
Geneva, n. Y, Samuel Warth. says he
cannot get small cheese enough to I'LL the
demand. In Holland probably the most
popular cheese made is the Edam, which
is round and weighs two Kilograms or four
and fourteenth pounds. Small families do
not care to buy a forty or fifty pound
cheese at a time, on account of the diff.
Guilty in keeping ii fresh until used. Nor
is II pleasant to buy slice of the grocer,
which is not very appetiziDg after hav-
ing been rolled up in paper and handled.
Making small cheese, weighing four or
five pounds each, we believe will not only
increase the local demand, bat also return
a larger profit to the maker,-Holstei1-

Why Good Hay Is scarce.

City markets are mostly supplied with
very poor hay. One reason is that the pop
ular taste, not of the horse, but OF its
owner, calls for that kind. The horse will
not eat so much. This is a saving, But
the greatest point is that, eating less hay,
he will not fill himself up so as to be unfit
for rapid travel. He will look guaut, to be
sure, but If stimulated with plenty of oats,
and perhaps some condition powders
added, be will trot for ell he is worth and
apparently enjoy il. That Is not the way
farmers feed their horses intended for hard
work. They give plenty of good hay, not
too much. bat good enough so that the
horse will eat every mouthful they allow.
Then they supplement with oats or other
grain. The horse feels comfortably full
and cen draw loaded wagon, or ploI, or
dTay all day and not De worn out at night.
Ali this requires two kinds of hay, the
best, cut early by the farmer for his own
team, and the poor kind. left until dead
ripe, and then cut and cured TO satisfy the
whims Of the city horses owner or driver.
If the hay Is bright and green, especially if
there is any clover in it. the city buyer
votes il no good. THE horse will eat too
much of it, Probably for men who have
no Judgment about feeding, this may be
the best method, though they ought to be
ashamed of such a reason for their practice.
1t is all right for the farmer to save and
sell the oveT-ripe hay. 1t weighs heavier to
the acre, and IS so dead ripe that il can some
time be got in the same day il is cut All
the same, however, 1T is unfit for horses TO
ear, except very little to distend their
stomschs. while grain gives them strength
and speed But it leaves the horse guant
and thin, and produces a dyspeptic tend.
ency, which, alike in horses and in men,
makes its subject old and worn out before

The Truth of History.

In referring to the English Bill" in rela-
tion to the admission of Kansas into the
Union as a state, which passed Congress
before the war, and was IAN exciting
political issue at several elections, ves-
tern paper recently said that Hon. Wn.
II. English, of Indiana made a speech in
Congress advocating the passage of the bill,
in which ne declared that THE Administra-
ton ought to take a bundle of switches and
switch the free statemen out of congress-"
A correspondent of the Chanute, Kansas
Times, evidently well informed in the
premises, says MIR. English said nothing
OF the kind, III congress or any where else,
and entertained no such sentiments. In
spite of all the Misrepresentation that
were called out oy the political luminosity
and necessities OF the time, fair and can
did examination of the official records will
show that Mr.. Eoglish was consistent free
stste man of the popular sovereignty school
OF politics. Instead of uttering the senti-
ment attributed to him in the article re-
ferred, to this is what he said
81 am" said he, in one Of his speeches,
"a native of free State, and have no love
for the institution of slavery. Aside from
the moral question involved, 1 regard 1t as
an injury to the State where it exists, and,
IL it were proposed to introduce it where
reside, would resist it to the last ex-
tremity."
Speaking for himself and his constitu-
ents, he SAID, upon another occasion, 1--WE
do not like this institution of slavery,
neither in its moral, social, nor political
bearings, but consider that it is matter
which, like all other domestic affairs, each
organized community ought to
be allowed to decide for ITSELF"
That was the position occupied by very
large and respectable portion OF the people
of the free states at that day. The bill
which passed Congress, known as THE
| English bill' was not inconsistent with
| that position. Under this law the question
of admission under the Lecompton con-
stltution was, in effect, referred back to the
people Of Kansas, and they voted against
! 1t, jest as Mr.. English and almost every
| one expected they would do. Even so
bitter partisan as Mr.. Greeley then was,
admitted, in his history, that the vote
cast on the proposition submitted by the
| English bill was, in effect, to reject the
Lecompton constitution"
| Thus the result was accomplished which
Mr.. English had contended for from the
beginning, and there is no inconsistency
| in his record upon this subject. On the
| final vote which admitted Kansas as q
state, he was stlll member and voted for
her admission"

Popularity of the Jerseys.


The Jersey breed has taken very promi-
nent position IN the dairy during the past
ten or twelve years. Previously il was the
fashionable COW of the rich amateur
farmer, who could afford to pay hundreds
OF dollars for one of these elegant animals
as an ornament to his lawn and well-kept
pasture, and for the supply Of cream and
butter for his domestic use. Gradually it
became the fashion for these wealthy per-
sons to establish fancy diaries, and to make
the choicest quality of butter, which was
put up in attractive forms, for sale to con-
sumers who could well afford to pay dol
lar pound for product, which was GER
tainly known to be clean, pure, and of the
most perfect flavor and appearance. 1t
was new departure in dairyIng, and had
most beneficial influence in compelling
the makers of butter to follow the example
set in this way, or in inducing them to do
so, in the hope of securing higher prices
for their product. a wholly new business,
commonlyhznown as fancy butter making,
has sprung up, and this has led to the ex-
pensive introduction of winter dairying
and large variety of improved apparatus
1t is new instance of the new improve
ment in agricultural methods which has
been brought about by the use of improved
stock; and just as the Ayrshire breed in
Scotland, or the Dutch breed in Holland,
induces a remarkable change for the better
in the pastures and in the culture of the
soil, as we'll as in the farm buildings; and
by reflection, as il were, on the farmers
themselves; so the Jersey COW has revolu-
tionized the butter dairy, and has im-
proved ii more in the past ten years than
every other influence has done from the
beginning up TO that time.

Bad Temper Among Englishmen.

lLOnuOA DpSSbuLoAsl
II Mr.. Francis Gallon is right, temper is
even larger factor in the household uu-
happiness of English people than is COM
monty imagined. He declares that rather
more than every second adult person in
England is in some way or other bad tenn
pered. Out of 1881 persons of whose char
acteristics be has received what he believes
to be accurate descriptions, given under
seal of secrecy, he finds that 81 per cent
are reported bad tempere |, and only As
per cent good. The women are a little
better than the meD-whlch we should not
have expected, women suffering far
more than men, both from the
querulcusness due to ill-health and
from the effects of continuous anxiety
say by about 10 per cent; bat even
among the women 40 per cent strike their
relatives as displaying in one way or
another bsd temper. 1t is true the word
is employed to cover an extraordinary
varity of forms of dissgreesbleness, the
epithets employed by narrators being as
follows: Acrimonious, aggressive, ar0it-
rary, pickering, capricio1s csptious, chol-
eric, contentious, crotchety, decisive. des-
potic. domineeriug easily offended, fiery

days earlier. Considerable variation of
form may be met with In the foliage aud
of color in the flowers and fruit. The
leaves are stalked and divided into three
or five segments; in some examples these
are soft and flowing in outline, while ia
others the forms are very acute. the inden-
tations very sharply defined The flowers
though ordinarily white, may at times b3
found of a more or less decided pink or
even crimson; whatever their color, they
are grouped in little clusters together on
short leafy branches given off at frequent
intervals from the stem. Near Glaston-
bury Abbey stands an old hawthorne that
has been the subject OF many legends, the
current belief, however, being that 1t
sprang from the staff of Joseph of Arlma-

preacher of Christianity to Britain, and
who, to convince the bsnighted islanders
of his mission, thrust bis staff into the
